TIX on the Square

WHO WE ARE

TIX on the Square was created by the Edmonton Arts Council in 1999. Originally intended to operate as a rush ticket booth, it has developed into a vital hub connecting local artists and community groups with audiences. TIX supports the arts community with a variety of professional services including box office, media relations support, and social media promotion, all for a nominal fee. TIX also collaborates withFringe Theatreas a satellite box office for Season shows and productions at the Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival.

In spring 2011, TIX extended its role to connect audiences with Edmonton's visual and craft artists and began operating a retail space, taking over the operations of The Edmonton City Store. The retail space features a wide range of unique, handcrafted products including pottery, jewelry, photography, fabric arts and more. TIX also showcases books from local authors, music by regional musicians, and historic prints from the City of Edmonton Archives.

In 2016, TIX began a partnership withFringe Theatre, acting as a satellite box office for Season shows and productions at the Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival. Customers can now purchase and pick up online ticket orders for these performances from TIX!

Holly Boone

Holly Boone was born and raised in Mansfield, Ohio. She attended Bowling Green State University with a major in Fine Art Photography although she has been a mixed media artist for many years. She is continuously inspired by animals, nature, colour, and the Universe.

In 2009 she and her husband started their own art studio (Polar Lights Art Studio) in their home in Edmonton with the hopes of showing the public (through social media) what makes them happy - creating art together. They currently sell their artwork online through Facebook, Twitter, Etsy, and their website. Holly also sells her work at the Alberta Craft Council Gallery Shop where she volunteers.

Holly is self-taught in the needle felting craft and has quickly developed into a skilled felter. She has now discovered her true artistic passion. She creates small animal sculptures and dioramas but plans to develop her felting skills further to incorporate these techniques into other creations such as felted pendants, brooches, and landscapes.
